Middlebelt and Ibo Unity to Secure Aso Rock

While I have had cause to praise Rotimi's successful nomination as minister recently, I must retract and rephrase my reaction to the rumored zoning of the SSG position to the east with Onu as the representative of the east a few months ago. 

I must state that I am truly happy that Onu who campaigned for a senate seat in old imo state under NPN went on to win the abia governorship only to be ousted by The return of Abacha is getting his due. After Abacha He went on to later come second in the race for a national seat of a party, (I am over 40 and in Yankee so I am allowed to forget). 

He later became the National Chairman of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) with PMB as its presidential candidate, so despite my premature and tribal rant against his SSG proposed nomination he has paid his dues up the rank and file and was justly and honorably rewarded by PMB, he is also a first class graduate and a PhD holder so he might be the most qualified minister on the roster so I bow for the man and congratulate him. 

My gripe as of today is that he merits this appointment by virtue of his personal achievement and contribution to chanji and the long-awaited enthronement of PMB and was individually rewarded and it should not be confused as a reward to his region. 

A region that has been criminally neglected and starved of development and barren of federal presence or jobs despite the so-called appointment of its sons to federally irrelevant ministries.

 Now while he is a leader from the east in many respects, it is time for the Ibos as a whole to go into the opposition and remain there and be joined by the middle-belt as it is time for the power to rotate to the east and or to Benue state by hook or by crook more so when you take into account the way the presidency has rotated amongst the geo-political zones in the past. 

It is my contention that unless the east and the middle-belt go into the vocal opposition they are fated to lose the presidency again to NW/NE or to Kwara mysteriously now in the same grouping as the middle-belt currently.

 I have hugged a transformer after PDP's loss and will live with the people choice, PMB the general I wish I could have been. 

But it is time for the Ibo and the minorities and majority minorities to go into the vocal opposition and remain there to ensure through strenuous reasoning for the power to shift to those two zones. 

The east did not vote for the PDP by mistake and should stand its ground on this issue. I call on the well-fed people of the food basket Middlebelt to break and sever old bonds and join the east/ south south to ensure a power shift to either region with the strongest candidate and not let power again remain in old hands. 

There is nobility in being In the opposition and the kuli kuli and soaked garri we will all soak is not so much worse than our current fare. 

Join the PDP or whatever opposition party you can find, because it cannot go back to the status quo after this round come 2019 if PMB decides not to seek re-election.

 NO SHAKING

Igbophobia, Criminality and the Nigerian Army

Image
By Terhemba Osuji You can gauge the sadistic intent and mission objectives of the Nigerian army by the code names it gives to its operations.  We had crocodile smile in the Delta and now we are dancing with pythons, actual code name Operation Python Dance, coming on the heels of a scathing report by amnesty international about the civil rights violations by the army in the South East.  It is obvious to even the blind that the agitation for Biafra is in the nonviolence phase, yet buried in all the usual hogwash about providing security, is the direct and coded message to imagined rebel secessionist armed forces aka IPOB/Massob agitators that they will use the rules of engagement to disperse all peaceful demonstrations in the Nigerian army's press release about the new operation, a clear case of paranoia which must be labeled as Igbo phobia. From even the most casual observations it is obvious that nothing mobilizes Nigerians or its security forces more than taming Igbo in all s...

Nnamdi Kanu - The last Igbo Griot

Nnamdi Kanu is the last living Griot of IGBO History passed on from a long line of griots and medicine men over the centuries in Biafraland to him.  The spirits of Biafara land have been searching for a medium to pass on the knowledge for mass consumption to lost souls for ethnic revival and they have found Nnamdi Kanu to use as a communication medium to share the knowledge before the history is lost forever.  His seance revelations and prayer sessions are laced with Igbo theology and vernacular descriptions that sounds strange, but oddly and mysteriously familiar to all ndigbo, and all Igbo races across the land, because of signature correlations to their ethnic DNA.  Those spirits are confusing people by allowing Kanu speak about succession to camouflage his speaking in tongues, Providence May allow for the mans eartly wishes to be fulfilled, but that is not they real concern of those blood spirits. Mother Igbo is crying for all her sons who left their fathers compound ...

NDIGBO - STAND BY KANU OR STAND ASIDE

What has become of Ndigbo Bekonu? You cannot post anything whether advisory, strategic, realistic or self-effacing or recriminatory about Ndigbo attitudes or issues without Ndigbo attempting to crucify for sabotage against Ndigbo, it doesn’t matter whether you are an Amala or a politician or an academic or diasporan if you go against the unwritten and inflexible philosophical narrative code you will be torn to shreds, literally.   All Ndigbo, can read or hear anything and instinctively know whether you are speaking like an Igbo man on any issue most especially about politics and economic policy. There is no Igbo man in his hearts of hearts who is Not aggrieved about the state of Nigeria and most particularly the instinctive feeling of exclusion and marginalization and victimization of the Igbo race, it permeates every single narrative we engage in and it drives our motives no matter how politically correct we try to pretend. All that searing pent up resentment has been finding...
